MARTA Seeks Community Input for Proposed Expansion Projects

MARTA
will host Listening Sessions on Wed., Jan. 18 and Thurs., Jan. 19 to
solicit customer and resident input on proposed expansion projects. The
plans will be funded by the half-penny sales tax referendum that was
passed in November with a 72 percent margin by City of Atlanta voters.
The sales tax is expected to generate $2.5 billion (in 2016 dollars)
over the next 40 years or about $60 million annually.
